Benjamin David Larkin

This earth lost a beautiful soul on June 26, 2021 when Benjamin David Larkin, 17, passed away peacefully at home. He was the son of David Larkin of West Hartford and Allison Kane of Bloomfield. A recent graduate of Conard High School, he will be forever missed by his brothers Cameron and Nate, his grandparents Alan Larkin, Jean Larkin, Robert Kane and his wife Sue Hollister, Karen Kane and her wife Peggy Chinn; Aunts Julie (Jeff) Chironna and their children, Lindsay, John and Daniel; Alison Larkin (Michael) and their children Marbella and Lenox, and Uncle Jeff (Carrie) Larkin, and his large circle of amazing friends. Ben had a wide open heart. We will all miss his smile that lit up a room, his back breaking hugs, his kind spirit, his "gentle pats on the head", his relentless determination, and his devotion to and unwavering love of his family and friends. A memory board has been created to honor his life at www.kudoboard.com/boards/p5FU0hUV. Please add photos, notes, videos, and links that represent what you most love about Ben. This will be shared at his Celebration of Life gathering on Saturday, July 17th from 1-4pm at the West Hartford Conference Center, 50 South Main Street, West Hartford. Join us for an open house celebration with food, drinks, music, and activities that honor what Ben loved most. For anyone wishing to make a donation in his honor, we have created a GoFundMe site (gofundme.com/f/celebrating-ben) in support of the Conard High School community that loved and supported him.
